Chapter 5 -- Cell Connections--Fuses in the Cell Cable
Testing For Open Fuses
A Gamry Framework test checks for blown fuses without having you remove the fuses. A simple Potentiostatic
test is run on the Calibration Cell on the Gamry UDC4 Dummy Cell. The test is run using the "Set a
Voltage.exp" script in the Framework's Utilities Package. Utility Package scripts do not require a Authorization
Code, so every Framework installation can run this test.
Connect the cell leads to the Calibration side of the UDC4. You do not need to place the UDC4 within a
Faraday cage.
Select the command Experiment, Utilities, Set a Voltage on the Framework's menu bar. You
will see a dialog box similar to this:

Setup Dialog Box for the "Set a Voltage" Script
Enter a Voltage of 1 volt as shown above, then press Ok. The Framework will open a Runner window and a
graph of current versus time should appear.
